Laurie's Tips: How to Create a Light and Natural Makeup Look for Summer
Hello everyone !
With the arrival of summer, it's time to review our makeup routine for something lighter and more natural, perfectly suited to summer temperatures. As a Professional Makeup Artist, based in the South of France but available for travel on request, I have acquired over the years some infallible tips for a fresh and luminous look that lasts all day, even under the bright summer sun.
1. Skin Prep: Before you start applying makeup, make sure your skin is clean and well moisturized. Opt for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that will help maintain hydration throughout the day. For a fresh, luminous effect, I also recommend using a highlighter primer for a glowing complexion.
2. Lightweight Foundation: For summer makeup, opt for a lightweight foundation with medium coverage or a BB cream that will allow your skin to breathe while evening out your complexion. Apply it with a damp sponge for a natural finish and avoid applying too much for a lighter, fresher result.
3. Play with Natural Colors: For the eyes, opt for neutral and natural shades that will enhance your eyes without overdoing it. Gold, brown and pink tones are perfect for a light, summery look. Use a cream eyeshadow for easy application and long-lasting wear, even in hot weather.
4. Waterproof Mascara: For voluminous, curled lashes that are heat-resistant, opt for a waterproof mascara. It will prevent mascara smudges under your eyes and ensure you have an irresistible look all day long, even at the beach or by the pool.
5. Finish with a Touch of Freshness: Finish your summer makeup with a touch of rosy blush on the cheeks and a tinted lip balm for a natural and fresh effect. Avoid lipsticks that are too dark, which can tend to run in the heat.
